    From her back end are we talking rectum or that other piece of anatomy? I'm assuming that other... in that case I would say she is proabbly not spayed and it's that time of the month or that she could be pregnant. As for the farts I've never heard of a solution to that so sorry :/ but for the other one id say time for a visit to the vet.

    Then I have no clue mate sorry I couldn't be more help. If no one else gives you insight call a vet and they might be able to tell you more(for free still) that could help you solve that issue.

    Np :) just seemed most likely to be from that "other" region, and just had a thought as to what it could be but I don't know if dogs suffer from this symptom... but it could be a yeast infection. But again don't know if dogs do in fact get them/can get them. Well GL

    Could be a clogged anal gland that is releasing a bit at a time.

    Our lab gets clogged anal glands all the time, I wouldn't say it smells fishy, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    If it is this then you need to express the anal glands. I know, it sounds gross, it is gross, you'll want rubber gloves and possibly a face mask, or go to the vet, they'll do it for you.

    I can't say for sure this is what it is, so a trip to the vet is the best idea.

    Good luck.
